SERGIO KOVAL
"WORKS '95 - '98"
The electronic music by Sergio Koval, experienced and dominating the technique rather than the contrary, as it sometimes happens with some artists, already has in this album a clearly recognisable style, one which surely is highly appreciated by its multiple followers. Many of the pieces are extracted from TV and movie soundtracks by him. The Space style present in the album is melodic and symphonic, often with spectacular orchestrations with the synthesizers. The melodies are warm, emotive, epic, majestic. Koval is one of those musicians that know how to transmit best the belief that electronic instruments not only have a soul but also possess an expressiveness and a potential which can hardly be matched. He is able to use the synthesizers in an unusually intense, vital way, like Vangelis and a few other stars of electronic music do. In a few words, this is a work that will enthusiasm the aficionados to Space music in general.
